Located at the top level of the pub, the Stanmore Road newcomer maintains the rustic appeal of its ground-floor sibling with a modern fit-out reminiscent of a classic cocktail bar. The newly refurbished space designed and built by northern beaches based company Warrane, features red velvet seats, camel-coloured leather couches, a luxe wall-to-wall bar and a cosy fireplace perfect for braving those cold winter nights.

“[It’s] generous, warm and unconceited — a space where everyone is invited to join us for an unforgettable experience that combines old fashioned charm with modern hospitality,” said Tanya Damianakis.

The venue also features a stellar lineup of beverages, all of which are sourced from independent local distilleries within Australia. Supporting local producers is at the forefront of the new arrival’s ethos, with all-Australian beer and wine lists celebrating craft brewers and small-batch producers.
